Okay so I need better clarification...

A patient comes in for a either a physical or pap and had labs ordered; this equals a Preventative code with a Z-code
But then the patients comes back to review the results however the results are normal...What do I code then??
 
I also responded to your post in the general coding forum - IMO review of normal lab results is insufficient to code or bill - I would look to the provider to document a reason for the visit that supports medical necessity.
